207 Towards The Beguiled City 4

Epilogue of the short trip to the past...

...

...

'This Wendy Gomez' location is two hours away from my current position?'

Gio was driven by the masked man to the airport where the private plane was.

It was because even if he hastened as fast as he could to Sofony's best friend's location, so much time would be needed. He could only click his tongue in mild irritation and forego the idea since he would be going directly to Alina City anyways.

He was really anxious to death. This was why he decided to play violence with the underground people instead of wasting time catching up with his noble acquaintances of this country. The former would be at least a guaranteed and faster resolution since, for those people, strength was all that mattered. As long he receives their respect and make them see that he is an untouchable deity, it would be very easy to make them do his biddings.

Gio had no way of knowing that Wendy was only currently quite far from his location due to another host's meddling.

Ver Drilon was not aware of Gio's existence, but he was definitely aware of the existence of the black-masked people who were still hunting him and Wendy even after so long.

The system user didn't know if the leader of C Empire's hidden organization was purposely sending canon-fodders for him to kill, or intentionally sending disobedient and problematic members for Ver to weed out. But fed up with the threats going on for the girl he was quite fond of, he chose to just keep them away as much as possible from Wendy.

In short, Gio wouldn't be able to meet Sofony's best friend because people he had chosen to temporarily have under him were closely monitored by another host.

Steffy too was far away, on an educational field trip to another prefecture.

Time passed and Gio boarded the private plane borrowed for his exclusive use. As it tore through the clouds and unceasingly brought him nearer to his homeland, expectations and agitations reigned upon his heart.

By asking one of the underworld guys the current date, he learned that one and half years already passed.

How was Sofony faring? It had been so long. Was she doing okay?

The man really wanted to see her.

'Be patient.'

They should be able to meet after four or five hours, right?

...

"... Damn!"

Hours after the flight took off from Edogawa City, he arrived at Country F only to stop before Alina City.

He should have known that Fred Mendez and maybe even Conrad Albarez wouldn't let him easily return...

That man must have felt it when the ice entrapping Gio had melted a dozen hours ago...

"They really want to take that three years separation so seriously?"

Hate clouded his reasoning. He couldn't find Alina City even though he was at the correct place. What lied ahead was only a never ending high way. The tall buildings and houses were nowhere to be seen.

It was already the fifth time that he had confirmed this matter. And since the place existed in the records and the maps, it could only mean that the problem was him.

Now what?

What should he do now that whenever he stepped into the territory, he was always seemingly taken to another dimension where all he would see was barren land in place of his home city?

Who else apart from Fred could do such a ridiculous thing?

Gio closed his eyes.

For once, he hated how he was only a monstrous non-host who was indeed unkillable, but still susceptible to system skills directly manipulating time or space.

Gio had no choice but to accept that unless Sofony exceeded her father's level which would only be possible after more or less ten years, Gio would have wait for the fake world and unknown system skill to collapse and no longer bar him from entering the beguiled city. He also suspected that Fred had set up other countermeasures so that even outside the city, there would be no chance of him meeting with Sofony.

An hour later...

"Fred Mendez, you're such a hateful madman..."

Feeling empty and at a lost, he walked away from there and met up with the people who came with him through the private plane.

To what he would do for the next one and a year before their next meeting, only time would tell.

For now, what was sure to happen was him reclaiming everything he owned.

When the right time comes.
